Amos 8:4-10
4HearH8085 thisH2063, you who trampleH7602 the needyH34, who do away withH7673 the poorH6035 of the landH776,5askingH559, “WhenH4970 will the New MoonH2320 be overH5674, that we may sellH7666 grainH7668? When will the SabbathH7676 end, that we may marketH6605 wheatH1250? Let us reduceH6994 the ephahH374 and increaseH1431 the shekelH8255;1 let us cheatH5791 with dishonestH4820 scalesH3976.6Let us buyH7069 the poorH1800 with silverH3701 and the needyH34 forH5668 a pair of sandalsH5275, sellingH7666 even the chaffH4651 with the wheatH1250!”
7The LORDH3068 has swornH7650 by the PrideH1347 of JacobH3290:
8Will notH3808 the landH776 quakeH7264 forH5921 thisH2063,and allH3605 its dwellersH3427 mournH56?All of itH3605 will swellH5927 like the NileH2975;it will surgeH1644 and then subsideH8248like the NileH2975 in EgyptH4714.
9And in thatH1931 dayH3117,declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069,I will make the sunH8121 go downH935 at noonH6672,and I will darkenH2821 the earthH776 in the daytimeH3117H216.10I will turnH2015 your feastsH2282 into mourningH60and allH3605 your songsH7892 into lamentationH7015.I will cause everyoneH3605 to wearH5927H5921H4975 sackclothH8242H5921and everyH3605 headH7218 to be shavedH7144.I will make it likeH7760 a time of mourningH60 for an only sonH3173,and its outcomeH319 like a bitterH4751 dayH3117.
